Snickerdoodles

Tomorrow my FHE group is going to the Testing Center on campus and are going to hand out cookies to people as they leave after their tests. In honor of that I decided to start making cookies yesterday afternoon.


Snickerdoodles

Prep: 25 minutes Chill: 1 hour Bake: 10 minutes per batch
Oven: 375*F Makes: about 36 cookies

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. In a medium mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1 cup sugar, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat i n egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Cover and chill dough about 1 hour or until easy to handle.

2. Combine the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat. Place 2-inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 375* oven for 10 to 11 minutes or until edges are golden. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
